Protests over responses to the COVID-19 pandemic
On the page ‘Protests over responses to the COVID-19 pandemic’ ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protests_over_responses_to_the_COVID-19_pandemic ) it is written:

According to analysis as part of the Global Peace Index, as of July 2021, there had been around 50,000 protests linked to the pandemic worldwide, 5,000 of which were violent.[3]

[3] Newey, Sarah; Gulland, Anne; Smith, Nicola (25 July 2021). "Plague and protests: how Covid has sparked a wave of unrest around the world". The Telegraph. ISSN 0307-1235. Retrieved 3 August 2021.

In this article from The Telegraph it is written:

This trend is backed up by data. According to the annual global peace index produced by the Institute for Economics and Peace, there were more than 50,000 protests linked to Covid in 2020 to 2021 – 5,000 of them violent – with civil unrest increasing worldwide throughout the year.

On the website Vision of Humanity, I found the Global Peace Index 2021 https://www.visionofhumanity.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/GPI-2021-web-1.pdf

pag 2: The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on peacefulness is still unfolding.

Over 5,000 pandemic-related violent events were recorded between January 2020 and April 2021. I

pag. 26: Figure 1.4 shows a map of COVID-19 related violent incidents from January 2020 to April 2021. There were over 5,000 pandemic-related incidents during this period that involved some form of violence, ranging from violent demonstrations and riots in response to lockdown measures, to physical assaults targeted at people of Asian descent.

Pag 27: The total number of protest events worldwide increased in 2020, and although not every demonstration was directly related to the pandemic, it was a key driver of civil unrest across many countries, most notably in Europe.

I couldn’t find any mention of around 50,000 protests linked to the pandemic worldwide.
